Morning Six Pack: January 7, 2012

The Day Has Come. Here are six stories from around the country about the impending collision in tonight’s BCS Championship Game.

RBs Riddick, Wood Give Notre Dame 1-2 Punch

Saban has won as his staff has changed. (Only two coaches remain from 2007, his first season in Tuscaloosa.) He has maintained his recruiting prowess even as Alabama has continued to win. And he is the reason that those top recruits reach their potential. "The unique thing about our program," running backs coach Burton Burns said, "is our guys develop. They get better. If you come here as a five-star player, you're going to leave here as a five-star player. If you come here as a three-star player, we like to believe you'll leave here as a five-star player."
